I never told my mother this, but when I saw the episode again in my teens, it scared the bejeebus out of me, because I remembered so clearly the walls and the television and laying on the sofa when he came for me.]

    People who are against gay marriage are evil.

    I don't know how else to put it.

    With the AMA recognizing that refusing to recognize gay marriage leads to a health care disparity, I'm not sure what nice can be said of anti-gay marriage people...they apparently want gay people in committed relationships to have a harder time getting health insurance... I imagine killing us by attrition in the process.

    At the risk of Godwinning my own blog post, how is killing by attrition not Naziesque? How is it not evil?

    People who are against gay marriage are selfish (but it makes me feel icky!) and hypocritical (The Bible is against it, but divorce should be legal!) and evil. How could they be otherwise?

    Why can't we just say it? It's true.

    Best misheard lyric, ever

    and I'm not alone...

    Erie County Ballot Initiative that was word salad:

    A couple of people have asked for the text of the Word Salad Erie County initiative, which many people just didn't vote on at all because it was such abject nonsense:

    Here you go:

    Shall there be approved in the County of Erie, Local Law Intro. No. 3 of 2008, entitled "A LOCAL LAW, entitled Tax Payer Protection Law, amending Article II, Section 202, known as, the Powers and Duties of the County Legislature and Section 2612 of Article XVIII known as, certain resolutions of County Legislature subject to executive veto."?

    I actually had an opinion on this, and voted, but many people had no clue about the 'give the exec more power" initiative, and several more have asked me...WTF was that?

    CNN math problem....

    Assuming Owens wins, this will be hysterical:
    Click for embiggerment of conservative "leading" with less votes.
    11:40pm Edit: STILL having same "Math problem"
    11:50pm Edit: Finally, with no change in the percents, they get it right.

    Pablo Discovered his Shadow yesterday...

    video

    After 20+ years of hiding in a cage, there are somethings Pablo is just not prepared for. This went on for at least ten minutes.

    Oh, and...Yes, I have a red bedroom and a canopy bed. I am a Princess.

    Never keep two male bettas together...the lightsabers might melt the aquarium.

    There is no safe pot, get over it.

    The reason we give codeine instead of telling people to smoke opium is that the actions of smoking something, itself, endangers the user.

    Let's be serious, for a moment: No one who smokes pot cares that they can get byssinosis from handling any hemp, whether it has THC or not. Here's a clue: If you need to wear a respirator to enter a plant that manufactures hemp products in places where it is LEGAL, because the fibers, once in your lungs, can cripple you, you don't want to roll the damn plant up and stick it in between your lips and inhale. DUH.

    Let's add to that the damaging effects of acetaldehyde in the smoke of both pot and cigarettes... something that degrades the DNA. But, you know, the researchers who published that finding were from the powerful anti-drug lobby.... oh, wait...they were anti-cancer researchers in Switzerland?

    Well, it's just brown lung and DNA damage, so what, it's still safer than tobacco, right?

    Damn those hard core anti-drug lobby researchers in republican Canada for saying otherwise!

    They are probably the same evil people who found that pot and cigarettes together greatly increased your chances of getting COPD. But, hey, they were probably stoned when they put together the notion of synergy. DUDE, what a weird sounding word!

    It's not like there is any science behind the idea that pot is not safe, I mean everyone knows pot is like, totally safe.


    The only thing worse that creationists are pot smokers who lie about the science to make themselves feel better about what they are doing. Dude, if you're going to indulge, just fucking indulge, don't be an asshole about it...because if you're an asshole about it, you're probably an asshole on it, and THAT, not safety of the pot itself, is why your friends and family don't like you when you smoke pot.
